FL-GOV: DeSantis Woos Latinos By Denouncing Socialism

“Standing between the American and Cuban flags and surrounded by faded black-and-white photos of anti-Communist combatants, Ron DeSantis did on Monday what many a Florida politician has done before: pay homage to the Cuban exiles who have remained faithful to the Republican Party for generations, the rare Latinos who vote reliably conservative,” the New York Times reports.

“But unlike his predecessors, Mr. DeSantis was not interested in talking much about Fidel Castro, who died in 2016. Instead, he warned of a new scourge in American politics: socialism, in the form of Andrew Gillum, his opponent in the state’s closely watched governor’s race.”

”Never mind that Mr. Gillum has rejected the socialist label, or that his campaign platform reflects policies espoused by many mainstream Democrats, such as raising the minimum wage and expanding Medicaid.”

Lets face it, DeSantis has no charisma while Gillum has plenty.
